omg...we are doomed.
Nobody is protecting the United States of America. Absolutely nobody. All it took was a few stolen presidential elections without consequences except for the American people.
I’m reminded of dozens of Air Force training classes on chemical warfare, and how they’d have all the gear ready for us in war-time. Well...Desert Storm came.
The week prior to leaving Arizona, we were basically told...no chem gear would deploy with us. It made no sense. It was always stressed in training. The right filter? You would get it upon arriving in Saudi Arabia.
So we fly in at 3AM....standing around for six hours....before they finally issued the right filters for the mask. Then they spoke of the “King-Fahd-Option”, which meant you carried your pouncho around with you and you’d don it with your mask, and just wait till it dissapated.
The actual blouse and pants? They had one single pair, in the packed kit, back at the operations area for each person, and it was only active or certified for two or three weeks after you broke the seal. They just didn’t have enough kits for everyone for real-world situations.
I sat there in disbelief. When the war finally ended and I went back to home base....I had eight years left in the Air Force. When they sent me onto chem classes yearly, I just sat in the back and did cross-word puzzles. When questioned, I stared at the guy and just grinned...it’s all bogus and the chem-training guys have no connection to reality.
The CDC? Same deal. No connection to reality.
